Another year older...

Not much to say. This year's birthday deviated from the standard Mom's Homemade Pie birthdays that I've had for years. Jer got a sitter and we went out for a nice dinner somewhere not too expensive. No embarrassing song and dance. Afterwards we wound up at Borders and I bought some books. Annual "present to myself". Heh.

Mikey started school this past monday. My days are now much quieter again. Audrey is like a different child when her brother is not around. But, as 3:45 rolls around... I need earplugs.

I'd been aiming to go back east this fall. High school's 15th reunion, college's 150th anniversary, and miscellaneous hanging out with family and friends. It looks like it will not happen. Car needs maintenance, Mikey needs me home to help him with his homework & studying, my anxiety level starts to rise when I think about traveling with a 4 year old, and... I just don't want to come home to a home that will look like it hadn't been cleaned in three weeks.

At any rate, I should head to bed. Blizz decided that the Mags GKP just wasn't for me and I got knocked offline. Now I am one of the many "random" people across the globe who cannot log into their particular server. Sure, I can go to one of my other servers and putter about on a low level toon, but I was in Mags... *sigh*

Speaking of Blizzard... I want them to make the murloc noise available in the US for phones. Almost everywhere else, but here...
